Guaranteed Income product

Eliminate the risks of market falls, inflation and outliving your super

Life’s essentials will always be covered. That’s the main benefit of our Guaranteed Income account. It’s a regular income stream that will give you peace of mind in the face of market falls, inflationary pressures, and the risk of outliving your super.  

What is a Guaranteed Income product?

A retirement account that provides you with a fixed and regular income, providing you with a safety net for basic living expenses such as food, electricity, and healthcare. 

We offer two Guaranteed Income account options:

• Guaranteed Lifetime Income: you receive regular payments for your life, or you and your partner’s lifetimes.
• Guaranteed Fixed Term Income: you receive regular payments for an investment term of between 1 and 40 years.

The product (or combination of products) that’s right for you will depend on your specific situation and personal goals. 

What are the benefits?

Enjoy:

• A regular income – the certainty of knowing how much your income payments will be over an agreed period, regardless of investment market conditions. 
• Protection from market risk and inflation – there’s no market risk to your investment, helping you maintain the purchasing power of your regular payments. 
• Income to last a lifetime – there’s no risk of outliving your savings, your income lasts you your lifetime and if you’ve chosen the reversionary option, the lifetime of your reversionary beneficiary.  

Layering your income

You can open a Guaranteed Income product by itself or combine it with a CareSuper Pension account. This is called ‘income layering’. It means that while your essentials are covered by your Guaranteed Income account, spending that varies – such as holidays or spoiling the grandkids – can be funded by more flexible income, such as your personal savings or your pension account.

Who can open a Guaranteed Income product?

You can open a Guaranteed Income account once a financial planner has agreed it’s appropriate for you.
